Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

The companies Bill is a major piece of legislation and of consolidation work. I think there are approximately 1,200 heads for that Bill. The expectation is that it will be brought forward around the middle of next year. I agree with Deputy Hannigan about the excellent work being done by the 60,000 people who work in the community and voluntary sector. I will ask the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government to look at that issue.
